Just like every child, Rodrigo is in constant need of new clothes. Some of the things I find really worthwhile to make at home are pyjama bottoms — pj tops are too much work and I'd rather buy him lots of long sleeve, white t-shirts, but the bottoms are quick and cheap to sew. Once again I used the Bedtime Story Pajamas pattern by Oliver + S: the cut is great, there aren't too many seams and they look quite professional (I think this is my 7th pair).

Rodrigo has been asking me to make his doll Manel some clothes and after a number of nappies in every colour of the rainbow (one day I'll show them here), I thought I'd make him matching pjs. Marta had sent me this link for Waldorf dolls trousers and tops/dresses and they were the perfect starting point for making pjs. Manuel is 38 cm so I shortened the trousers by 1 cm and took out 1,5 cm to the width of the top pattern (because the pattern is placed on the fold, the top turned out 3 cm less wide than the original one).

You can't tell you how much fun I had sewing up these doll clothes! Next on my list: a pair of jeans and a stripey top.
